on your note bad. >> you thought it was bad in the press corps. this video will blow your mind. >> that's what my wife writes down when i talk is that wrong? ben affleck banned for life from a popular casino. wait until you see why. what was he doing there, batman?

[cheers] >> making the thousand dollar mint. >> a new document roocketly unearthed by a national security official by the obama administration preparing talking points for susan rice. you will remember right after those attacks, september 11th, 2012, she went on the sunday shows and claimed that these attacks were the result of popular outrage against a youtube video. the question for almost two years has been where did that line come from. it's demonstrably untrue. we now know it was part of a coordinated effort from the white house to spin the reality of benghazi. >> that document only unearthed after freedom of information act request. and the white house's talking points on all of this is that that document really had nothing to do with benghazi. it had to do separately with the attacks there. that's why we didn't release

the document. >> they said it had to do with the region not benghazi specifically. even though judicial watch group, the conservative watch group that filed suit. they had to sue to get these documents. that's what they asked for benghazi documents. >> we should be clear by the way the congressional investigators have been working to get relevant documents like this for more than a year and have been, for whatever reason, i hope we find out, unable to do that. it was left tore independent group, judicial watch to get it the congress couldn't get this document. >> trey gowdy was "on the record" last night with greta van susteren. he has evidence. he can't talk about it publicly just yet, specifically, that the white house is hiding something. and he is now the chairman of this committee. take a listen. >> i have evidence that not only are they hiding it, there is an intent to hide it. i can't close that evidence yet, but i have evidence that there was a systematic

intentional decision to withhold certain documents from congress, and we're just sick of it. so we're going to get him to come explain why we are getting documents 20 months late. >> i should say reportedly, maybe selected to head up that committee. the way it's interesting to watch democrats respond to this because a whole host of democrats taking to twitter, mocking the response about benghazi. here the right wing goes once again. harry reid managed to somehow weave the koch brothers into the into the debate. republicans showing yet again have nothing. more interested in defending it took 20 months and john boehner now announcing. >> he we live in an age of talking points and bipartisanship, we all know it it take two or three

steps back. this is the most powerful legislator in the world and we are talking about the death of four americans and he is bringing up koch brothers equal pay for equal work. this is really an inadequate pretty outrageous response. >> joe trippi, we will play sound from him later in the show this morning. he said look, democrats and of course he is a democrat. joe trippi saying look democrats need to get off this line and playing the partisan card here. partisan debate when four americans have died. the optics are terrible and it doesn't wash. >> other thing that is surprising is the way the state department has responded to this announcement of the special committee by john boehner and subpoenaing john kerry. we are are shocked. we are surprised because we have been cooperating. you have been cooperating? why did a nonprofit have to sue to you get these documents. >> it had nothing to do with benghazi. >> i forgot. >> nothing to see here, look away. >> it's unbelievable.

okay. so, probably many of you, this is going out on a limb here, may have suspicions about the media. reporters survey after survey has shown they are way more liberal than the average person and a lot of people believe their coverage reflects that orientation. very rarely is the curtain pulled back and you get to see what it's actually like inside a newspaper. a candidate for office in the state of oregon gave an interview with the editorial board of the weekly paper. here is what happened when they sat down. watch, this unbelievable. >> i see what you are writing down there, you just wrote down blah blah blah for everything that jo ray said is. she respectable woman why are you not respecting her by writing blah blah blah on your note pad. >> we will move on if you answer respectfully. >> you have to give respect in order to. >> climate change do you believe it's a myth or reality. >> it's a myth. >> it is. >> yes.

a woman who was on speaker phone. she wasn't able to be there at the meeting. also a candidate. and, you know, you want to talk to harry reid about the war on women. well, there you go. there it is. >> what is so interesting by the way. this reporter gets writing blah blah blah down. you think the natural reaction would be busted. instead they go after the candidate for pointing it out you are not respectful. in case you think this is some little weekfully oregon not on the radar of the national press corps. the guy asking these questions won the pulitzer prize. i looked it up. so offended by. this guy in his 50s. he won the pulitzer prize. highest award in journalism. is he asking questions about the easter bunny. >> training ground for a national stage anyway. >> the will am met weekly. >> why are you on the easter bunny? >> where are you on the easter bunny?

quarter past the hour this saturday morning. no english, no problem. you will probably get fast tracked for. considers a person's ability to learn english when deciding if someone is disabled. joining us is reporter with the washington free beacon in. good morning. >> good morning. >> could this be true not knowing english counts in your favor in disability.

>> that's what is what senator jeff sessions discovered here. he did investigation from the budget committee which found they were looking into why has the disability roles increased so much. applications have gone up 230% in a decade. so they are wondering why this is. they found a little known policy where the social security administration will look at, you know, education as a factor when determining if someone is disabled. and the social security will say okay, they will consider if you cannot speak english as one of the small factors if someone is disabled. but what they have found is that is now being used as the only reason and you don't have to prove it in your hearing. can you just say through an interpreter no, i can't speak english and then they are being approved. sessions is raising this concern. >> yeah. so these lawyers are demanding that an interpreter be there, even if their client actually can, indeed, speak english. how does that even happen? i mean, how could something like this be on the becomes?

>> well, that's the thing, it's a little known -- it's almost a loophole. it's a policy that senator sessions is worried as being misconstrued by the social security administration. they are using this one little line which, as you know, social security disability insurance is meant for, you know, individuals that are in the workforce, american citizens, who are no longer able to work because of a physical or mental impairment. to become an american citizen, you have to demonstrate at least a basic knowledge of the english language and now they are finding in these hearings individuals applying are saying oh, you know, i can't speak english but through an interpreter they don't have to prove it and getting automatically approved. >> this is the same administration that advertises food stamps in mexico. isn't this something that would dissuade people from being assimilated. >> there are concerns about that i think it's interesting, too.

because like you mentioned with food stamps there has been cases of fraud particularly in puerto rico. and senator sessions in the report found the same thing with disability insurance. there is one case in puerto rico where a plant closed down 300 workers, all of the sudden 290 of them applied for disability insurance once they were laid off. and they all got approved. so he they were thinking this brought this to their attention it. they are thinking they are using this cannot speak english as a way to apply for disability, especially in puerto rico. from especially when the process for naturalization involves having a working knowledge of the english language. doesn't make a lot of sense. elizabeth hairington, thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. >> coming up, so much for sovereignty, one state now letting illegals practice law. is that fair? we will report. and can you decide. >> plus, it's the fastest in sports. races are warming up. ainsley?

welcome back. more than 60 students arrested after a senior prank goes way too far in new jersey. students broke in and trashed their high school at 2:00 in the morning, smearing vaseline on doorknobs. oh no. they taped hot dogs to lockers. destroyed desks and did other things in the hallways pretty disgusting so. far 24 students have been criminally charged. of the school district is considering additional action. what should the punishment be for these students? joining me now for a fair and balanced debate jonna spilbore. >> good to he see you this morning. >> good to see you, clayton. >> 62 kids involved in this. do you think that's too far. >> breaking is a felony. these kids committed a felony. this is known in the legal world as felony stupid. they should not be charged. honestly what they did was wrong but this is a crime that can be aleve yated president parents pay out a lot of money to make sure that this school brought back. they cleaned up the school

but these kids don't deserve criminal records. they don't deserve not to go to college. they don't deserve not to have their scholarships ripped from them. >> superintendent considering no presume. banned from other senior traditions. not graduating not going to college as a result of this. is that a normal senior thing it? >> is a normal senior thing, actually. this there may have to be some if there was destruction of property and maybe something like they can't go to the barometer or something to basically say to the school community you can't do these things. clayton i have to tell you i have a senior my son came to me with a senior prank idea. we are going to get together, dad, we are all going to go to the library and sleep overnight. be in sleeping bags so when the faculty comes the next morning i said bad idea, that's called breaking and entering. i will tell you what they did do. what they did do decided go to all boy's school. we are all going to bring our dogs in the next day and walk around the hallway. 60 boys came in with pet dogs walked around the hallway. a clean stunt.

the faculty loved it. the faculty was playing with the dogs. it was kind of fun and no one got hurt. >> no one got hurt. is that the issue here. gravity. damage to the property in this situation. if some of these kids were over 18. so then you have got juveniles and adults. how does the law look at those differently in this situation? >> usually 18-year-olds are treated like adults. i will tell you what, i'm not sure if it's the same in new jersey, here in new york, if an 18-year-old commits a crime, they are treated as a, quote: youthful offender that means they can be guilty. be found guilty, but that record is forever sealed. no college will ever know of it no employer will ever know of it. so these kids -- nobody was more than 18 years old. and if they have the same provision there, they would qualify for that which begs the question. then don't bother. let's not prosecute them. let's have the parents pay some money and let's call it a day. >> what sort of precedent are we setting here today though. it's okay. you break into a school and smash things. go to the bathroom in the hallway. which many solve these kids

did. spray paint things. this is okay under the law? >> if there was destruction and your honor naghtd in the hallway, something has to be deny to send a message to the school community it won't be tolerated. >> throw money at the problem. >> parents will have to pay for the destruction kids under 18. kids over 18 they will have to pay for it themselves and may have to do some community service. >> also criminal record going forward for the rest of their lives. do they have a case. could they actually flip the tables on prosecutors? >> flip the script? >> flip the script. say this was a simple senior prank and now we have criminal records and going to ruin our careers. >> and that's a great question. and prosecutors have what we call discretion. so, any -- a prosecutor with a heart, if you are prosecuting this, do you want to see these kids have a criminal record -- you don't get rid of your criminal record, not ever. no prosecutor with this intent, they didn't burn down the school, right? they did a lot of stupid things, and studies have shown most of these kids

were male. studies show a male's brain doesn't mature until 2 a. it's a scientific thing. >> do you agree with that. >> i don't agree with that that's a subject for another day, i think. >> what's been the response from parents in all of, this actually having to foot the bill for this? >> it's a problem. i think this is another example of parents have to talk to their kids. my f. my son didn't come and talk to he moorks maybe they would have gone into the library. than they would have broken. in baby they would have been subject to criminal charges. so i think there has to be communication between parent and child and when there is, sometime we parents can give pretty good advice. >> know where your kids are at 2:00 a.m. >> not every parent is a lawyer. and kids can say here is what i am going to do to my high school. will this get me locked up. nice to see you this morning. >> nice to see you too, clayton. >> punt to me on twitter at well clayton morse. morris. >> another secret waited

stand there and hold the ladder from the obama. dad, i'm like six years old. if you fall backwards there is no way a 6-year-old is going to be able to hold that ladder and lift you back up on top of it. i think he wanted me to help out. >> that was his way of baby-sitting. >> and he fell down. >> we have news, many of you may have been following. this it's developing day by day on benghazi. 20 months after the tragedy of the loss of four american lives. >> john boehner has announced a special committee that will investigate the attacks with new vigor. state department responding by saying all these investigations are, quote. incredibly time coming for its workers and very very expensive boo who. >> now it seems like some lines or dots have been connected now between the white house. long thought maybe susan rice talking points came from the cia now letters unearthed by freedom of information act request, lawsuit on behalf of

judicial watch uncovering direct correlation between the house and what happened on those sunday morning talk shows. the state department saying, look, we have got better things to do right now than to go back and relitigate benghazi. take a listen to marie hearth. >> the am of man hours and taxpayer dollars that go in to all of this is incredibly time consuming for our folks here and other agencies as well. we are committed to doing it because it's important, but when we have already done it, the point of doing more of this when we could be spending our time talking about, again, embassy security, bringing people to justice, we think that's a better allocation of resources given that we have already gone over this. >> better allocation of resources. we want to get to the truth in this email that judicial watch had to sue for, seems to be a smoking gun is what it has been called in the headline it says 4 p.m. prep call with susan rice. let's make sure this doesn't appear that it's a broader failure of policy on behalf of the obama administration. let's blame it on an

internet extremist video. and we still don't even know where the intelligence came from for that little piece right there. it is a waste of time doesn't appear to be. joe trippi is a democrat and he is even calling out the administration. let's listen to what he he has to say. >> he they are treating this like the partisan attack they see it to be the problem is the optics of that, given that there are four americans that lost their leist and there are still unanswered questions about why they weren't defended. there are legitimate -- i don't think they view and it's still an open question about -- and i don't really view the talking points as a big issue. the real issue here is why did an ambassador have little or no real security in a place like libya on september 11th. >> that's a great question. who was in charge of security at the time when we knew that there were a number of attacks, a number of threats leading up to this incident. we knew they had drones in the sky watching ago live video feed as this battle

unfolded for 7 to 8 hours. ty woods, of course you remember he was killed tragically in this attack, a navy seal who was killed, said when the bodies arrived back in the united states, hillary clinton looked right into his eyes and still was blaming it on that video. listen. >> well it, came out on the 12th, i'm sorry, on the 14th. this was about the same time that i met hillary clinton when the bodies came in to andrews air force base. and i think i mentioned this to you before. hillary clinton came up to me and i gave her a handshake and a hug. and when i shook her hand she said to me: we are going to have the film maker arrested. >> do you i think this may be te single most shocking thing in the benghazi story. secretary of state doesn't get to arrest people. second first amendment protects free expression of political views in which this video contained. the idea that because you do

a video on the internet that the obama administration doesn't like you get arrested is over the top. by the way, he was arrested. and not only was he arrested, there is no sober person believes this film maker would have been arrested had it not been for the administration blaming him for the benghazi attacks. moreover, no would have seen the video if they hadn't called attention to it. this guy did a long time in jail. is that what they do with inconvenient people in the administration? we are just going to have him arrested. that's thought the not the way it works. >> people responsible for the attack we have video of them hanging out on beechesz. >> they have done interviews with american news crews. knocke not like they are hard to find. this divif who irritated hillary clinton was taken away to jail. shocking. >> oonto piggy back up what joe trippi said as far as the security goes and the talking points go to link the two together, it goes to prove a lot of folks say anyway that there is some sort of protection going on to trial to protect the

president and also hillary clinton. so, essentially, playing politics and putting politics and the protection of both of those individuals ahead of the four lives that were lost. >> yeah, so just a warning. >> ahead of the election, obviously. >> just think twice before you post a provocative youtube video. hillary clinton might just have you arrested. that's the way it works. don't like them have them arrested. it actually happened. >> yeah. and we can talk more about this and some of the frustrations i have with the administration moving towards internet restrictions. i mean, we are getting -- i think we are entering into an interesting and scary time right now. >> stop. they could have you arrested. >> lead us know what you think about it, friends@foxnews.com. please weigh in. we will be talking with governor huckabee about this very issue coming up later in the hour. >> 8:00 hour. >> we have other headlines we want to tell you about potentially a deadly virus here in the united states. centers for disease control announcing respiratory case called mers in the united

states. a worker who had been working in saudi arabia came down with it it the next day he was hospitalized barely able to wreath. the men flew from saudi arabia to london, london to chicago. took a bus from chicago to his home in indiana. right now the man is in good condition. officials are trying to track down any passengers he may have been in close contact with during all those travels. and at this hour a new day of heavy fighting in ukraine. this just 24 hours after its bloodiest day in months. chaos breaking out on the streets. people dead after a intense day of fighting. ukrainian activists. pro-russian forces. it is believed both sides throwing gas bombs and the buildings as ukraine launches first major offensive to take back the city.

leaving two ukrainian soldiers dead. president obama promising tougher sanctions against russia. charge him as an adult. that's what prosecutors are demanding for the minnesota teenager accused of plotting to kill his entire family and blow up his school. police in waseca say 17-year-old john ladue had sketched out detailed attack. first he planned to shoot down his mom, dad and sister and then he wanted to set off bombs in a school and kill, quote, as many students as possible. they found seven bombs storage unit he had rented. >> men, all your dreams have come true. supermodel is back on the market. 32-year-old victoria secret model and her husband, professional basketball player are splitting up after five years of message. they have two daughters together. >> you know she is a friend of the show. she has been here on the show. >> did you get her phone number? >> no. we got a couple of photo but

she wouldn't remember. that's kind of how it goes. >> the arm wrestler? >> you arm wrestle? that's how i pick them up. talk about this. a new study breaks down and sets straight the first born children being the biggest success stories. i used to say this to my sister all the time i'm going to be a bigger success than you and she says i didn't believe it first born children are bigger dreamers. >> how much does she resent that. >> she is watching right now. she hates me for it this new study backs up and says that children that are born first dream bigger and achieve more in life. do you guys buy it. >> i don't know if that's true. i'm the first born. >> it's science. >> it's science? >> i don't know. i feel like the less attention you give to your kids within certain parameters probably the better. first kids are kind of fussed over a lot. i think they tend to be slightly neurotic, i am one. >> were you doted on more than your siblings? >> no.

>> no? >> less so? >> there is a lot of attention on the first. oh, it's our little baby. >> what about your birth order? >> i was the first. i had a stricter curfew. she was left to roam free in the pastures. midnight. oh is nicole even home yet. >> really the daughter? >> yeah. >> what about you? >> i have an older brother. when we were young, kids we had our iq tested. his was higher than mine. i always did better in school than he did. and, i don't know, we are very different. is he more content, more satisfied, more laid back, more chilled. and i'm never satisfied. i'm always wanting more. so i mean it's kind of the opposite. i think i'm the dreamer of the two. >> interesting. let us know what you think about this, friends@foxnews.com and your birth order. are you a bigger achiever and dreamer let us know at foxandfriends.com. coming up next, they left our veterans to die on secret wait list. another whistle blower coming forward saying this is just the tip of the iceberg. she is speaking out first

only on "fox & friends." >> tree trimming goes horribly wrong for one man as it often does. how he was able to walk away unharmed after this terrifying brush, unintended with death. >> who was filming? >> who films a branch cutting? a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can ease arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, this can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain, and improve daily physical function so moving is easier. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain. and it's not a narcotic you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning.

they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. thischance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history. and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.

the secretary of veterans affairs put three officials at the phoenix v.a. on administrative leave. this whistle blower claimed 40 veterans died after they were put on a secret wait list. the officials including director sharon helmand denied knowing anything about that list. a second whistle blower has stepped forward. she is dr. catherine michelle. she was worked at that hospital for 16 years.

she says the problems go way beyond the list to the corruption of the entire v.a. system. dr. kathleen mitchell was talking to us only here on "fox & friends." we are grateful to have her. doctor, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> you have said that you were concerned that officials at the v.a. would seek to cover their tracks by altering or erasing electronic documents pertaining to this list. >> yes. that was the concern when the employee asked me for moore assistance on sunday night to secure the only paper copy that he had so that management would not have the ability to go back in and alter the document in the computer. >> that would be a crime, is my understanding, to do something like that but you think management at the v.a. is capable of that? >> oh, yes. in the past, the investigations that have occurred on a routine basis in the 16 years that i have been there in general, things are swept under the carpet before the investigation is completed

because they have advanced notice. >> you said that you believe that the corruption of the v.a. had a direct effect on patient care and led, in some cases to people dying. is that correct? >> any corruption within the department of the v.a. system will have a direct effect on patient care because our mission is to provide healthcare services for veterans. the any any anything that impedes our ability to provide safe care we equally have impact on patient care appropriate consults. delays into getting into lynn nics. whether it's the physicians that are retaliated against for bringing up patient safety issue is the fact staffing is drastically inadequate the to cover the needs of the veterans even for what nobody has said. allegedly 40 people that

died while waiving. even if there hadn't been a paper stack paper list before you were put on the electronic paper list. i couldn't guarantee that the phoenix appropriately in a timely manner. not just our facility. the department of va and all the medical centers are shorthanded. >> those are pretty serious charges are are you concerned that you will face retaliation for airing them publicly for becoming a whistle blower? >> yes. >> even if the public support is wide enough to or when they recognize the seriousness of the problem in all v.a.s, unless the public can change the v.a., the system of administration is going to end up coming back at me for retaliation in the long term. that's the way it's always been. >> you would think they would want to know if the system isn't working and veterans are dying as a result. you would think the last thing he would want to do is punish the person who brought it to their ait

tension. >> such logic rational thought is not common within many v.a. administrators in the department of the v.a. there are across the country there are physician after physician that i'm aware of who have tried to speak up for patient safety care issues. and have either gotten retaliated against by having the proficiencies dropped, they are laterally transferred or removed. there is actually a couple processes which no one has really got noon detail called sham pier review. that's where a pier review normally is where a facility has a significant concern about the ability of a physician do routine patient care. they pull a section of their cases and review them to make sure that the clinical care that was given by the physician is consistent with the medical standard for those conditions. there are facilities, department of v.a., i'm sorry, medical centers where administrators use the

ability to order a pier review in order to basically smudge a physician's reputation. >> that makes sense. >> let me just ask. this has been going on, you said for some time now. but you have only recently come forward with it publicly. is that why? why the lag between you noticing these problems and you reporting them in public? >> there is a couple of reasons. one is it's always better to work for change within the system. publicity actually gets attention focused on the v.a. what generally happens cameras are on. after they are off retaliation against anyone who spoke up. it doesn't matter from what department. and that's been the way it is just the way operations are done within the v.a. system. i do want to elm' if a size the majority of administration are honest. in every facility there is a few administrators that are so unethical that they basically have and they

wield enough power that they have the ability to silence everybody who brings up patient care safety issues as well as prohibited personnel practices. preselection for jobs. for gs level employees much the ability to penalize them because they don't have sufficient staffing for a particular department so that and so they are not able to complete their job efficiently. you are not supposed to be able to penalize gs level employees because of short staffing in the department itself. when it's deny, then it's up to the union at each fillings to go forward and protest it on behalf of the employee. most employees don't bother because the risk of retaliation is too high. >> as numb as i am to stories of bureaucratic in mismanagement dmv shocking take place at veterans hospital as much as the v.a. system. thank you for being here this morning.

she was a real inspiration. out on the trail. i rode with her part of the day yesterday. she falls down. gets back um. backen othe bike. that's the real theme here. getting back on the bike. i spoke to president bush about the difficulties that these veterans have to it overcome. >> every vet here has overcome difficult circumstances and are now riding pretty difficult bike trails. and the symbol is that, you know, can you succeed. and some people ask me all the time about being with the vets. my answer, universally is i'm inspired. you know, i may have a knee ache, but it certainly not even close to what people who have been riding these bikes today have overcome. and if our citizens see them overcoming difficult odds, they themselves who think they have got the toughest hand to play should be saying wow, this person can too it and live life to the fullest, so can i.

>> we have all gone through traumatic instances. some of us worse than others. we are here to support each other and be on the trails together. ride together. at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you are missing a leg or arm. we are out there to figure out whatever our new normal is going to be. >> you know, the key according to president bush is to not rely on old organizations like veterans affairs but also to consider private solutions. and also support groups. now, here at the ride, higher hero is here. warrior foundation is here. of course the bush foundation. i spoked to the green beret foundation yesterday too long a lot of research. trek bicycles giving free bicycles out to all the vets when they leave with all the warriors. absolutely inspiring. i spoke to president bush yesterday about the need that the veterans have to retool and how difficult that is. let's watch. >> we're also helping bridge the language gap between employer and employee. for example, you know, a guy

writes on its employment form i'm a sniper. well, the employer is going to say they don't need a hire a sniper. if he were to put on my skill set in the military required patience, discipline, practice, you know, he might say well, that's the kind of guy i want to hire or kind of person we want to hire. we are helping it to bridge the language as well. i'm in to help people find meaningful jobs. >> you know, a vet with a traumatic brain injury actually fell, hit their head, got dizzy when they had the injury got back on the back. that's the can he here. all about team work working to get back in society and regain the new normal. >> dr. marc siegel live for us this morning at that big race. thanks so much, doctor. >> thanks, doctor. >> thank you. >> coming up, the dude. >> this is like two years ago. we are still talking about. >> dude, it is the thing. >> dude, now the state

either. the next day he called me and said mom, i escaped. i got into a better a safer part of the jail i said what, you escaped? i said mom they were going to kill me. there were hit men in there. they told me they were going to rape, torture and execute me and i was going to go out in a body bag. i had to get out of there. i was going to be killed. i feel safer and in a better part of the jail. the relief in his voice the day after so i know that as a marine he had to put his own life in his own hands to escape what he thought was imminent death in that 72 hour holding cell with a lot of men and penitentiary. since then he has been in a safer protected area. >> you say a safer protected area. but since you tell me has been chained to a cot in infirmary? >> yes. he sustained a neck wound and he had to be hospitalized with stitches.

>> unbelievable. >> thank you, anna. >> let's bring in governor mike huckabee to talk about the big news of the day. nice to be with you guys again. >> what do you make of this benghazi story? so we got access, the public got access thanks to a nonprofit judicial watch to email that really is the smoking gun. we didn't get it. the congress didn't get it. this looks like obstruction of justice. not giving up that email to congress, no? >> what else could it be but obstruction of justice. when the united states congress that has the constitutional right and responsibility to make sure that there is check and balance on the executive branch. when they ask for specific information, they are stonewalled, they are lied to. and then somebody else has to get the information, that's what that is. that's an obstruction of justice. i think this is really more serious. people can dismiss it as a partisan witch-hunt. it's a very serious issue. it reminds me back what we saw in the watergate days.

if this is the tip of the iceberg as trey gowdy is alleging. 20 months since this has unfolded just now. >> i think there is a reluctance on the part of republicans to create a select committee because it brings up the whole reminder of what happened during the clinton years and special prosecutors and watergate and every time special prosecutors and select committees happen it does create a very harsh environment in washington. nobody wants to see things get even worse and more partisan, more bitter. but we're probably going to see it what should happen is the kind of statesmanship that we did see back in the 70 when watergate happened. when you had republicans like howard baker who were willing to ask the tough questions and didn't care that it was his own party that was at fault. he wanted truth. he wanted honor, he wanted justice. this is the kind of statesmanship that is very much lacking in d.c. today. it's what we need.

people ought to rise above their own party affiliations and say, there are four dead americans. i owe it to them and to their families to find out what happened. let the chips fall where they may. >> you mean statesmanship like harry reid, senate majority leader who is saying this is exactly a republican talking point, this is a right wing -- this is a right wing scandal that they are making up. in fact, he said. this read this verbatim. republicans are showing yet again, that they have nothing to offer the middle class. republicans care more about defending billionaires lick the koch brothers and trying to rekindle debunked right wing conspiracy theories than raising the minimum wage or making sure women receive equal pay for equal work. >> harry reid has a theme things go better with koch. he can't utter a sentence without bringing the koch brothers into it they have nothing to do with benghazi. they have nothing to do with this scandal. i think it's almost to a point now where harry reid has become a comedy, a tragic comedy but a comedy

nonetheless. when he says something just know that whatever he is saying has nothing to do with the topic at hand. and this is a great example of that. he ought to be standing up as the leader of the senate, the most's most deliberative body once it was now it's the most dysfunctional body. this is an issue we need to get to the bottom of. if there is nothing there, republicans are going to be humiliated and embarrassed. if there is something there, the country will be well-served by truth. it's always well-served by truth, never well-served by lies. we have been given lies from the very beginning on this story, from the very first day this happened, september 11th, 2012, our government has constantly lied to us and they covered it up and i think now as the old saying is the chickens are really coming home to roost. >> i i want get your take on this bombshell too that was actually just dropped here on "fox & friends." we have a second doctor speaking out from the phoenix v.a. who is testifying to the shredding

of documents to taking screen grabs and giving certain information to washington and concealing secret waiting lists that have caused allegedly 40 of our heros to die. let's listen to dr. catherine mitchell. that seconds whistle blower. >> in the past, the investigations that have occurred on a routine basis in the 16 years thraive that i have been there. in general things are swept under the carpet before the investigation is completed because they have advanced notice. majority of administrators are honest. in every facility there are a few administrators who unethical that they basically have and wield enough power that they have the ability to silence everybody who brings up patient care safety issues as well as prohibited personnel practices. >> she says she is fearful of retaliation following her speaking out on our airways. just how broken is this system? >> incredibly broken. i think we need it to know two things. one, there is a difference between inat the expense and

criminal activity when something is as wrong as this is. actions cover tracks to make themselves look good. in this case the life of a veteran. that goes beyond incompetence, that's criminal activity. the second thing that i hope every american will keep in mind. when we talk about the benefits to our veterans, we are not talking about entitlements. we are not talking about some type of assistance to people that are begging for it we are talking about the moral obligation that this country owes to those who kept their promises to this country. put on uniforms. went halfway around the world to places they couldn't pro-he nouns when they got there, put their lives on the line so the rest of us could breathe free air in our homes and these are the people, and i use this term deliberately, we have a moral obligation to see that whatever it is that we promised them we keep the promise and we never ask them to wait in

line to get it and that's why i think a the lo of americans' blood just boils over this story. >> they were promised they would be taken care of when they came home. >> and they haven't been. >> well said. who is coming up on the show tonight. >> we have kareem abdul jabbar talking about on the sterling case and -- paul tier older sis it ter with be with us tonight. benghazi former cia agent. and i think it's going to be a great show. >> kareem wrote a really compelling piece this week. >> you have been keeping that case in the news. >> i will until the girl gets home. outrageous abuses of state authority against a family that i have ever witnessed in my life. >> 8 p.m. tonight on fox news network. >> a fox news alert. protesters promised to-to stop condoleezza rice from speaking at rutgers. >> the world's worst human

great show as usual. as you know one of the stories that we have been covering and tracking as it got closer and closer to commencement day on may 18th is some of the protests and uproar within the rutgers university where it seems as though a handful of professors and some students. there was about 50 there have decided that she was not the right choice to be the commencement speaker for rutgers graduates this year. so, considers coming back from an overseas trip has decided to do this and here is the statement that's just been released to "fox & friends." this commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for the graduates and their families. rutgers invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community at this very special time. i am honored to have served my country. i have defended america's belief in free speech and the exchange of ideas. she's values have essential to the health of our democracy but that is not the issue here. - she will becided she will rejecting the offer to be the commencement speaker. >> oh, boy. >> she says she doesn't want

to be a distraction it's a special day for these kids and i don't want to be a distraction there. >> that's what she is saying. what you see is handful of students that we could see, 50 showed up at that sit-in. what you see is a handful of professors who decided with her role in they call it torture. the administration called it enhanced interrogation and the run-up in the iraq war itself she would be a bad representative for what the university stands for. this according to a few professors. the president all the way says we are about free speech. we invited her and we want her to stay. we want her to continue to do it. he as far as we can tell was standing by her the entire time. >> kind of dismicial decision. she doesn't want to step on graduation for the students. giving up $35,000 fee. that's a small thing. on the other hand she is in effect being shouted down, drown out. protesters have won don't you think by her pulling out? >> it depends on how you do it. she explained to me through her chief of staff that she is all about academia. secretary or diplomat. she said you know what i'm

this. do you think there was any fear that there would be any violence at the graduation? >> you know, i wouldn't think so because even the protests this week i was watching the footage of it they said the rutgers paper says said it was the biggest sit-in they ever had. less than 50 people. mostly muslim students. a handful of professors. the size of rutgers university is huge. if there was thousands of people on the lawns. i would still think there would be a strong argue document go if she wanted to. after all she was invited and proud of her record. handful of students feeling this way. she is bawl academia and doesn't want to be a distraction. looking at her background, secretary of state, national security advisor, her role with -- in the bush 41's administration and she went to provost at stanford. university of denver. if you look at people qualified to be a commencement speaker that's it. two years ago snooki was their commencement speaker. >> really snooki? >> really?

self-esteem and give unconditional love and acceptance. there you go. >> talk about a study confirming what we already knew. dogs are objectively good. and speaking of confirming what you already knew, many of you may suspect that the media are mostly pretty liberal. most reporters are liberal. every study has shown that. and, yet, it's still jarring to seat curtain pulled back and get a glimpse of what it is like from a newspaper. candidate in oregon at the weekly newspaper in oregon. they were interviewing him, here is what happened. >> i can see what you are writing down there, you just wrote down blah blah blah for everything jill ray said. she is respectable woman why are you disrespecting her by writing blah blah blah on your note pad. >> mark, we're going to move on. i'm going to ask a question and if you answer respectfully we might. >> you have to show respect in order to get respect.

this what many conservatives say is a phony war on women. that's been waged by conservatives allegedly, you know, those dirty evil republicans. but how about the war on women right there. this woman is not even in the room to watch watch what's going on there and they are sitting there blah blah blah blah blah. blatant disrespect. what does that say about the mainstream media, right? this may be a small town and a publication that a lot of you probably may not have ever heard of. this is a breeding ground for the national exchange. >> by the way it does reflect arrogance and self-satisfaction. notice, when he gives an answer they don't agree with he is crazy, or the easter bunny and then i don't want to hear it, get out they say. just leave. by the way, this was not some cub reporter who asked a question. 50ish-year-old reporter who a couple years ago won the pulitzer surprise this is a crummy little paper but pulitzer prize winner acting dismissive who answered a question the way he didn't

like. >> stay tuned to see if he gets the endorsement from the paper. we will see. we will keep you updated on that. coming up here on the show. remember this dude dude, this is like two years ago. we are still talking about the most mundane process. >> dude,. >> years ago. >> dude, it is the thing that -- >> mundane process. the state department has a plan to make sure the people don't make the same mistake on capitol hill. you'll want to hear about this. how to use your credit card to score a free fright. coming up. ♪ come fly with me ♪ let's fly down to peru ♪ there's a big boy band

good morning. if if you play your cards right, you can get that deal on a great getaway for you, but not all credit cards were created equal. here with the top cards travel expert mark murphy. good morning. >> good morning. >> there are new ones out that people ought to take advantage. >> my number one pick is the chase preferred safire card. it comes with bon us points, so when you sign up -- you have to know that you have to spend money, so all those bon us points, they don't happen until you make a transaction. so be prepared to spend $3,000 in the first 90 days in order to get that 40,000 bonus points, then it will take you up to a $500 credit towards your next vacation. you have to understand you'll be spending money in order to earn

those points. >> of course. is that something that only works for particular airlines? >> they give you travel credits, whatever you want to spend on travel, you can literally choose anything and take advantage of it. >> the bar clay card arrival world mastercard. >> they give you the signing bonus of 40,000 when you spent the $3,000. what's interesting is you get double points on every purchase, whereas with the chase safire you get double points on travel and dining, the bar clay gives you double points on every purchase. not quite as good as the chase preferred, but it's still a good option. >> then the blue sky from american express. >> by the way, both of those other cards, the chase and bar clay have annual fees. the blue sky from american express, no annual fee, but the bonus is only 7500 points, and that is on a purchase of $1,000, so you have to be prepared to

spend $1,000 out of the gate. >> some people are probably going, mark, you're throwing a lot of numbers at me. why should we care about this? why is it worth is it in. >> it's a great way to add incremental savings to your travel. everybody uses plastic. if you're going to spend money with a card, why not get something back on it. they charge 2%, 3%, 4% merchant fees. they're giving it back to you in terms of loyalty. it works for them. it gets you to focus on using that card religiously, and it's coming out of those mvp fees, so they're funding it out of their own fees and keeping you loyal. as we go, some of these cards actually help if you travel internationally so you don't get nicked. >> the reason i say chase preferred, no foreign transactions fee. those add up when you travel

internationally, so that's important. if you have time, we can talk about a hotel card. >> we don't, but give us a link, we'll send our viewers there. >> go and look and take a look at starwood hotel card. >> mark murphy, thank you so much. more "fox & friends" in two minutes.

good morning, everyone. well-begin with a fox news alert. rutgers students determined to force condie rice out of their commencement and this morning there's breaking new. the house now pushing for a special committee, but the state department says benghazi, a total waste of time. >> the amount of man-hours and taxpayer dollars that go into all of this is incredibly time-consuming for our folks here. >> yeah, just a lot of work to deliver justice for four dead

americans. can't be bothered. watch on you, tiger. this pint-sized did you haver has a swing to make him a pro. that 3-year-old will be here live. "fox & friends" hour 4 starts right now. yes, it is, we're in game show voice this morning, ladies and gentlemen. >> welcome. >> come on down. >> pretty good. >> and our ainsley earhart is live from churchill downs. >> do you have a horse in this race? we have one here in the studio? >> sir ed. my beloved mother-in-law is betting on a horse called wicked something or another. >> wicked strong. every once in a while the curtain is pulled back and you get to see who is running the

government. a memo came out, it was pulled out in a foia request, and showed a lot of collusion behind the scenes, the white house trying to change the explanation. here's the state department spokeswoman ma remary hart. >> the amount of tax payment that go entice all of this is incredibly time-consuming for our folks and other agencies as well. we are committed to doing it because it's important, but when we've already done it, the point of doing more, when we could be spending time talking about embassy security, bringing people to justice, that's a better allocation of resources. >> have you ever seen anything more arrogant? >> when you put it in the context of the news in the morning, which we are learning that the state department will be tutori ining members of its ,

they've farmed it out to a consulting agency, the use of money, time and effort their better resources are being reported to. to train you to testify in front of congress. and john boehner saying he will hold a special committee headed by -- but the state department saying they're surprised that john boehner is doing this, saying they're also subpoenaing john kerry about this. they say we've been cooperating the whole time. you've been cooperating the whole time, then how come a nonprofit had to sue in order to get these documents that tie the white house to the -- >> because they say it had nothing to do with benghazi, the e-mail was about the region, but special didn't have anything to do with benghazi. that's interesting, because they were sued specifically for documents about benghazi. >> which raises a question, why is a nonprofit ability to get what congressionally investigators weren't able to get a year and a half ago?

>> that's why secretary of state john kerry is being hauled in front of the committee inch it starts to look lie obstruction. these were the talking points given to susan rice. this is absolutely about benghazi, and they withheld it. >> yet liberals are trying to say this is just a witch-hunt by conservatives. listen to what harry reid is say, responding by blaming the koch brothers -- showing republicans care more about defending billionaires like the koch brothers and trying to rekindle the debuvged right-wing conspiracy theories than raising the minimum wages. >> when we just had this new memo that specifically litches the white house to having altered these talking point.

governor mike huckabee reacted arier. >> this is a man who can't utter a sentence without bringing the koch brothers into it. they have nothing to do with this scandal, but it's almost a point where harry reid has become a comedy, a tragic comedy, but a comedy nonetheless. when he says something, just know whatever he's saying has nothing to do with the topic at hand. meanwhile, more on that story here, keep it here, probably the only network covering the benghazi story. meanwhile, condoleezza rice was asked by rutgers to come and speak at their commencement, then protests ensued. a group of students were outraged they had asked condoleezza rice to come speak will. getting an exclusive here on "fox & friends" and condoleezza rice backing out of delivering

this commencement speech saying -- commencement should be a type of joyous celebrations. rutgers' invitation to me has become a distraction for the university community. i'm honored to have served my country. i have defended america's belief in free speech. these values are central to the health of our democracy. that is not what is at issue here. so she is stepping down. >> i think her motives seem honorable, and i'm still sad that she did this. it's totally fair to debate her tenure as secretary of state, but she's basically being shouted down by a small group of angry people. that's not a good precedent. if you don't want to hear someone's position, you just prevent them from talking? that's not something that's healthy. >> pretty offensive calling her a war criminal, not saying her resume was worthy of being the speaker, when we heard from

brian, that snooki was the commencement speaker a few years back. it will seem they would be more offended by than that is the first female secretary of state and second african-american secretary of state following colin powell. >> but she wasn't on a reality show. >> that's not on her resume. maybe the situation from "jersey shore" will be invited. here's some of your viewer e-mails. if the professors and protesters are any indication of the people associated with rutgers, i wouldn't go there, either. >> and linda says -- it shows class, which rutgers does not have. >> again, a handful of people affect the majority? i would be ecstatic to hear her speech. that is the point, isn't it? don't we want to debate? let's talk about them, not force the person you disagree with to shut up. that's not for free speech.

that's an authoritarian impulse. >> i remember at the university of pittsburgh, different speakers would come. every student could come, have a discussion, there was a q&a session. there was always a difference room of opinions. it wasn't shouted down -- >> but college is about only have approved thoughts. you know that. [ laughter ] >> it's like getting that way. some other stories made headlines, a disturbing story we've been telling you about veterans left to die because of the a secret wait list. officials at the va hospital denied knowing anything about it, but a second whistle-blower is stepping forward. dr. catherine mitchell says officials are destroying evidence, and that she has records proving the hospital used secret waiting lists to hide the long wait times that veterans faced. earlier drch mitchell saided scandal doesn't stop at just one

document. >> in the past investigations that have occurred a a routine basis in general things are swept under the carpet before the investigation is completed, because they have advanced notice. >> and dr. mitchell says she does fear retaliation from the va for coming forward. at this hour, a new day of heavy fighting in ukraine, this just 24 hours after the bloodiest day in months. chaos breaking out in the streets. at least 42 people are dead after the intense day of fighting. the building catching fire when ukrainian activists stormed the complex being held by pro-russian forces. it's believed both sides were throwing gas bombs around the building, this as ukraine launches the first major offensive to take back an eastern city, two ukrainian soldiers debt. now president obama threatening even tougher sanctions against

russia. as john kerry gets called to testify on benghazi, the state department is hiring tutors to prep for congressional hearings, after a spring of embarrassing q&as. remember when john mccain slammed -- >> the government has denounced them, the coalition -- the coalition part of the government. >> i stand corrected. >> i have no more questions for this incredibly highly qualified group of nominees. >> one democrat, senator clair mccaskill calling out the state department, asking why they're spending money on tutors rather than time and attention on fixing real problems. ben affleck may be great at running a gambling racket in the movies. >> why the house? >> because the house always wins. which is why we don't have to

especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures.

those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

nearly 20 months after the terrorist attacks that left four americans murdered, congress is taking its most aggressive act yet. john boehner has announced a special committee. congressman, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me, tucker. >> i think some of our viewers could be confused how a nonprofit watch got this memo when congress has been unable to get this key memo for over a year and a half. what happened? >> that's a question we all want to ask. and yet, you know, this watch

dog group, judicial watch, was able to get this information. little did we know. >> my understanding is if a government agency, in this case the state department, knowingly refuses to hand over a document to congressional investigator, that's obstruction of justice and a crime, isn't it? >> it absolutely is, especially when you're looking at it adjoining with a political agenda. those are felonying prosecutable in law. >> what answers are you going to be seeking? >> i think it will get you to redefine putting together and focus this group of trying to make sure we get all the information 689 there's many more documents that may have been left out. this shows a predicated line of thinking politically protecting the president and the state department, instead of coming up about the facts with what was actually happening.

>> the president's involved in this. two weeks later he's talking about this video at the united nations. so this is a smoking gun that's locked and loaded. >> sol you've been at the center of this from the beginning. why did the white house lie about why these attacks took place? >> well, they had this whole narrative, they didn't want to leave a footprint in libya, anywhere else in the middle east. they were predispositioning a process to fail. when this came about, they couldn't have that narrative before the election cycle, because the president had said al qaeda is on the run, bin laden is dead. the same thing occurs with secretary of state hillary clinton, so they had to dispel this narrative and make sure the american pebbles weren't going be changed in that you are vupts about barack obama. >> but the truth always comes out, the oldest law in washington. thank you for joining us, and i

hope you'll come back as the investigation progresses. >> certainly will. coming up the nsa isn't the only one tracking you. yet another agency is keeping tabs a your phone and your license plate. we'll tell you who they are. and last hour we talked about -- and the private sector at work. stay tuned for that. oh! the name your price tool! you tell them how much you want to pay, and they help you find a policy that fits your budget. i told you to wear something comfortable! this is a polyester blend! whoa! uh...little help? i got you! unh! it's so beautiful!

it's sad for them, but perhaps an opportunity for you. do you recognize that a-lister?

what we call zone 1/2 osis, means it came from animals. in this case mers came from a campbell. we don't know how it made that jump from camels to humans. we think it's probably through the air, better it could be through drinking camel milk or eating the meat. this is common in saudi arabia where the virus originated. what concern should we have? quarantine? can it be spread from human to human? >> mers does spread from human to human, but fortunately it's a bit different to get it from another person. the only human to human transmission has been people in the same house or sharing a hospital room. we haven't seen it from riding on a bus or airplane from someone. that's a concern with this man who's come to the united states

carrying the virus. so far we haven't seen additional cases. >> so perhaps don't eat camel plate. >> certainly. >> or i'll. also a big report from the world health organization on antibiotics. we've been hearing this for a couple years ago, that doctors say i don't want to prescribe antibiotics, because we're developing this large resistance to them and they're basically not working in a lot of case. now the w.h.o. saying antibiotics are so widely described the bacterias are developing the resistant. >> they looked at antibiotic resistance in 114 countries, and this is a problem globally. unfortunately antibiotic resistance is on the rise. so we're seeing these antibiotics, these drugs that once worked to treat certain infections not functioning properly anymore, because the bacteria they're designed to kill have adapted to tolerate

them. i talked last week about mrsa with the staph infections, we only have a handful to treat that. >> what do we do? doctors don't want to prescribe them for little kids when they're 1 years old. they want to see if they can work it through naturally, but what can we do? >> about 50% of antibiotics that are unprescribed are unnecessary. >> wow. >> the first thing we need to take is stop prescribing antibiotics for colds and those kinds of things. we're under pressure to see more patients in less time, so it's easier for me to write a prescription thain to explain to someone why they don't need these medicines, so we all need to take responsibility for this problem and only prescribe antibiotics when they're needed.

for people taking it, you need to take the full dose. don't stop it once you feel better. you need to take your doses on too many, and maybe sure you kill all the bacteria so they can't adapt and linger. then the next time you do need that medicine it wouldn't work, so don't call the doctor and say i need a z pack. all right. get out of meyer hair, i'll write a prescription for you. good to see you. >> thank you. this toddler has a swing to make a pro. he's showing off his skills, but let's hear from brenda. hey, guys. good morning. just as we're seeing jobs tick up, are these anticapitalists out to tear the market down? it looks like millions of americans who like their employer-sponsored health care plan won't be able to keep it. should you worry? what's the government spending money on taz got bill o'reilly worked up? at the top of owling, only the
